3. Booster Gold

Yes, Booster might have a movie in the works, but if that doesn’t work out, there’s always the televised possibility.

Michael Jon Carter is a has-been athlete living in the far future (Wait, does that make him a will-be? Or a will-have-been?). Anyway, Michael steals a time machine and some super gear and hops back in time to become a rich and famous superhero as…Booster Gold! Although Booster and his robot sidekick Skeets start off as people playing heroes, they eventually come to terms with what the title really means.

Again, Booster has ready-made series potential. Season one: Booster comes back in time and spends the majority of the episodes as a publicity-first hero. By the end of the season, he has to step up and actually save the day, which earns him some respect. Season two: Booster has to struggle against his better instincts to become the kind of actual selfless superhero he wants to be. And then season three can be the time-hopping Quantum Leap-y shenanigans that were present in the most recent ongoing series.

It’s all there for you, TV producers!
